Sisqó just dumped some knowledge on the meaning behind his “Thong Song” lyrics.
The R&B singer, who rose to fame with the hit song back in 2000, finally revealed the meaning of the line “dumps like a truck” — for those who weren’t quite sure.
On the track, he sings: “She had dumps like a truck truck truck / Thighs like what what what / Baby move your butt butt butt…”
In an interview with HuffPost, Sisqó, whose real name is Mark Althavean Andrews, said he was breaking new ground about thong underwear when the song debuted, and apparently, coining phrases — that he assures you aren’t about poop.
“What I was really referring to was — a dump truck when it backs up, it’s like, ‘beep, beep beep.’ So, ‘she had dumps like a dump truck’ is, like, when girls do a booty dance move and they look back at their butt,” he explained. “She’s like a dump truck back-back-backing it up.”
Urban Dictionary users have been in a heated debate about its meaning, with some believing it means “a large poop, usually from a female.”
“That would mean I was some kind of fecal freak,” the Dru Hill member said, denying the theory.
Other meanings on Urban Dictionary mainly included a large butt — aka junk in the trunk — or big breasts.
It’s been 17 years since the “Thong Song” hit the mainstream — but Sisqó isn’t sick of it just yet.
“Beautiful women from all over the world are still trying to brandish their underwear before me,” he told HuffPost. “I’m never tired of singing that song.”
